Look for function names that contain either "encode" or "quant" (and not
unquant). If you remove those (and replace their pointers with NULL in
some structures), you'll pretty much have removed all the encode stuff.
You can also get rid of things like mdf.c preprocess.c jitter.c and all
the fft stuff.

I'd expect the code size to be between 20 kB and 100 kB, can't really be
more precise. MIPS should probably be somewhere under 10.

Try it, let me know. You can also try the Blackfin uClinux forum if
that's what you're using.
